Emma's Nanny

Threats

None POV:

Adrien and Marinette were laughing as they lounged on the couch, Emma bouncing between them when Marinette suddenly bolted to her feet.

Her hand flew to her mouth, and without a word, she rushed toward the bathroom. Adrien was on his feet in an instant, following her with Emma trailing behind, confusion and worry etched on the little toddler's face.

By the time Adrien reached the bathroom, Marinette was hunched over the toilet, throwing up. Adrien immediately crouched beside her, his hand brushing her back before gathering her hair, holding it away from her face "It's okay, princess. you will be fine" he said softly

Emma stood frozen in the doorway, her big emerald eyes wide with fear "Mama? Are you okay?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Marinette finally stopped, reaching for a towel to wipe her mouth. She moved to the sink, rinsing her mouth out and brushing her teeth with shaky hands. Adrien stood behind her, his hands steady on her shoulders. Emma shuffled closer, clutching Marinette's leg.

"Are you sick, Mama?" Emma asked, tears brimming in her eyes.

Adrien pulled her into his arms to comfort her "Don't worry, baby bug. Mama is fine" he said, though his gaze stayed firmly on Marinette "Mari, is there something you need to tell me?" he asked, his tone calm but questioning.

Marinette dried her hands and turned to face them, her expression confused "I don't know, Adrien. I just felt nauseous out of nowhere. It could be nothing."

Adrien tilted his head, his gaze narrowing. "Or... you could be pregnant" he said, his hand still on Emma's back as he pulled Marinette closer with the other.

Marinette's eyes widened. "What? I mean, I don't know. It's possible, but..."

Emma tugged on her father's sleeve, interrupting them "What's pregnant mean?" she asked, her voice curious.

Adrien looked down at her, then back at Marinette, who was too flustered to explain. Adrien crouched to Emma's level and he pulled her toward him and cupped her little face "It means Mama might have a baby in her belly, baby bug" he said simply, trying to make it easy for her to understand as he pressed a kiss on her forehead

Emma's eyes lit up with excitement as the meaning sank in "A baby? Like... a baby brother?" she squealed, clapping her hands.

Marinette laughed nervously "We don't know yet, baby Emma. It's not for sure."

But Emma was already hopping in circles, her excitement bubbling over "I want a baby brother. I'll teach him how to play, and I'll share my toys, and I'll be the best big sister ever." she declared.

Adrien couldn't help but chuckle as he straightened up, his hand slipping around Marinette's waist "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, baby bug" he said, though his expression softened as he watched Emma's joy.

Emma suddenly grabbed Marinette's hand and tugged her toward the bed "Come on, Mama. You need to rest. I'll take care of you and the baby."

Marinette let herself be dragged, laughing as Emma made her lay down. Emma climbed up beside her, carefully grabbing Marinette's hand "Okay, now I'll give you a massage" Emma said, her little fingers gently pressing on Marinette's arm.

Marinette sat up, pulling Emma's hand to her lips and kissing it. "Thank you, my little nurse, but I'm fine, you shouldn't do that to me little baby, you should just stay with me and I'll be fine" she said softly, her smile warm.

Adrien watched them with an amused grin before stepping toward his nightstand. He opened a drawer and pulled out two pregnancy tests, holding them up with a smirk. "You might as well check, princess" he said, tossing them onto the bed.
